Re: Apple IIgs booting from Mac server

["pilgrimer" <no@no.no>]

Ok, this brings a question to mind:

I know that the never released and a very few exist in the wild Apple
Ethernet cards
 will work with Appleshare 3.0.3 on GS/OS 6.0.1 on Appletalk doing this
dodge just like Appleshare on Localtalk on a GS.  so.... WOULD IT BE
POSSIBLE...
to install Appleshare 3.0.3, on a Mac and a LANceGS card on a GS then
somehow whack
out Appletalk into accepting that link to allow Ethertalk I communication to
a GS
and ethernet speeds for a boot?  Just a wicked idea...
